This paper takes precautions proposals against prospective disasters from the space weather maximum in 2013. A geomagnetic space storm sparked by a solar maximum like the one that flared toward earth is bound to strike again and could wreak havoc across the modern world. The purpose of the study is that the disaster reduction and safety service implementation study on the ultimate space weather systems by the information systems of the space weather. The process methods of the study are that an implementation of preparation for the smart IT and GIS based disaster management systems of the solar maximum deal with analysis on the flare, solar proton event, and geomagnetic storm from space blasters, These approach and methods for the solar maximin display national policy implementation of the pattern of the radio wave disasters from the protection and preparation methods. This research can provide affective methods for the saving lives and property protections that implementation of the disaster prediction and disaster prevention systems adapts the smart IT systems and converged decision making support systems using uGIS methodology.

Reinforcement learning(RL) is the method to find an optimal policy through training. and it is one of popular methods for solving lifesaving and disaster response problems effectively. However, the conventional reinforcement learning method for disaster response utilizes either simple environment such as. grid and graph or a self-developed environment that are hard to verify the practical effectiveness. In this paper, we propose the design of a disaster response RL environment which utilizes the detailed property information of the disaster simulation in order to utilize the reinforcement learning method in the real world. For the RL environment, we design and build the reinforcement learning communication as well as the interface between the RL agent and the disaster simulation. Also, we apply the dimension reduction method for converting non-image feature vectors into image format which is effectively utilized with convolution layer to utilize the high-dimensional and detailed property of the disaster simulation. To verify the effectiveness of our proposed method, we conducted empirical evaluations and it shows that our proposed method outperformed conventional methods in the building fire damage.

To effectively cope with new and different types of disasters, it is very important to communicate and update disaster information to the public quickly and efficiently. SNS enables rapid spread of information and continuous exposure. SNS enables two-way communication by directly communicating with users. SNS complements the shortcomings of mass media, and increases the effectiveness of disaster management work. This study analyzed user awareness and requirements to derive effective methods of SNS operation of disaster management institutions. For this purpose, a user survey was conducted to identify the types of information that are highly user-interested and to select information items suitable for SNS services. Through this, we suggest ways to improve the SNS disaster record information service of the disaster management institution.

Purpose: The construction industry is a complex mechanism in which multiple processes are carried out at the same time, and the frequency and severity of accidents account for a higher proportion than other industries, and the accident fatality rate also accounts for more than 50% of all industries. In order to reduce such accidents, the government's disaster investigation method analyzes the limitations from the system safety point of view and proposes improvement plans. Method: The main contents of the government's serious accident investigation were identified, and the effectiveness/adequacy was analyzed from the system safety point of view. Result: Disaster investigation and analysis techniques tailored to violations and compliance were limited in providing fundamental solutions, and alternatives for accident prevention were possible for each component of the system when safety constraints, controls, and hierarchical interactions were combined. Conclusion: When combining the disaster investigation and analysis method from the current accident analysis method from the perspective of system safety, it is possible to identify the problems of interaction by class and communication process, so it is possible to suggest alternatives to prevent accidents from an integrated perspective.

The emergency recovery scheme in time of a disaster or accident up to now has been focused on how to build a backup for the public service or communication network in national scale, also, all the mobile operators have done as recovery scheme for the equipment failure in their network was to make a backup copy of billing data or package data, and they have usually studied only on the backup and failure recovery scheme in the circuit-switched network. However, since it has become more probable recently that a disaster or accident could occur in the switching office buildings, a recovery scheme in time of the failure of these entire switching offices became necessary. The purpose of this paper is to propose various recovery schemes, and by having checkups on many issues that could arise while carrying out these schemes, it presents the best solution for each issue. Moreover, it presents the future tasks that need to be studied as well as initial study directions.

In this paper, we consider a cooperative monitoring network, which consists of a large number of UAVs, in order to promptly detect event in a disaster area. A command center may not be able to control each UAV individually due to resource constraints. Therefore, UAVs need to autonomously construct a mobile monitoring network in order to maximize monitoring coverage and to adapt the network formation according to environment changes in the disaster area. To that end, we propose multiple UAVs-based cooperative monitoring schemes that uses virtual forces. In this monitoring scheme, an effective monitoring is enabled by extending monitoring coverage using each UAV's circle movements. The UAVs-based monitoring network can also be splitted or merged in order to increase the monitoring effectiveness. Through simulations, we show that the proposed scheme can effectively monitor a large area and achieve a high event detection ratio.

An integrated command system is critical for the safety of firefighters and effective work in the headquarters of a special disaster areas such as natural disaster or large man-made hazard. The integrated command system requires environmental information such as temperature, humidity, and $CO_2$ levels, as well as personal physical information such as pulse and air respirator levels. An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) chip converts sensed information into digital signals, and a Micro Controller Unit (MCU) transmits the digital signals to a transmission board using serial communication through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The digital signals are saved in a transmission board and transmitted to the integrated command system by a Radio Frequency (RF) unit. The location of fire-fighters in a building are determined using a gyro sensor and an inertial sensor. The collected information is applied to the integrated command system for firefighter safety and to ensure that they can effectively carry out their duties. Tthis study theoretically and experimentally investigated the technologies of RF transmission, indoor position, and an integrated command system that supports decision making using the transmitted information.

This paper describes the design and trial development of a system that supports continuous hazard mapping by local residents in their daily life. We performed an interview survey to design our system in a model traditional town in Saga Prefecture, Japan. The results show that despite continued efforts, many practical problems remain and residents feel unsafe. Considering these results, we designed and developed a unique information and communication technology-based support system that contributes to community-based disaster prevention and reduction. The continuous resident participation and posting design are the core concept for our community-based approach. Our system continues to support making a hazard map by integrating the community-based hazard information. Local residents register information (disaster types, risk level, photographs, comments, positional information) about locations that could be dangerous in a disaster. In addition, our system enables information sharing through a Web server. We expect that this information sharing will allow local hazard information for each district to be used.
